Masthead & Imprint
Saltaire Guide is an independent local publication about Saltaire & Shipley. This page sets out who publishes it, how we make decisions, and how to contact us.
We're not an official council or tourism site. We run this as a small local project with clear editorial standards and transparent policies.

We are a small, independent publisher. We don't sell positive coverage, and we don't allow businesses to approve or veto independent editorial. Paid placements — such as featured directory listings or clearly-labelled paid spotlights — exist and are kept distinct from independent journalism. See our editorial policy for the separation rules.
What the masthead means
A masthead (imprint) identifies who is responsible for publishing and maintaining the site. It supports transparency and accountability—key E-E-A-T signals for visitors, search engines and local partners.
If you ever need to escalate an issue or query a decision, start here: the buck stops with the Editor.

Credits & licensing
Photos & graphics
Most images are our own original photography, taken while walking the area. Some header and illustrative images are licensed from stock or editorial libraries. A small number of heritage images come from public-domain archival and museum collections. Where a licence or credit is required, it is provided in the caption or near the image. Please request permission before reuse.
Where no suitable real image is available or practical to publish, we may use AI-assisted or AI-generated illustrations for decorative or illustrative purposes only. Illustrative images are not documentary evidence of any specific person, place, event, vehicle, or current state of a location, and any resemblance to an identifiable real subject is unintentional. This is covered in detail at clause 8.1(d) of our terms of use. Our editorial text is written by humans, not generated by AI — see our editorial policy.

Content licence
Unless stated otherwise, text and original images are © 2026 Saltaire Guide. We're happy to permit limited quotation with clear credit and a link back to the source page.
Questions about the imprint?
We're happy to discuss roles, sources and decisions. For tips or corrections, use the dedicated routes so we can keep a clear audit trail.
Transparency
Our policies explain how we publish and how we handle updates and data. They're kept short and clear so they're actually readable.
